Fighting Chance

Two broken souls and a spark that can‘t be ignored. Famous hockey player Kieran Ashford is the NHL‘s favorite headline, but when his reputation catches up to him in the form of a surprise phone call and a mute three-year-old daughter he didn‘t know existed, Kieran is suddenly thrown into the depths of fatherhood. Now, at least, the quick-witted book addict has something she can‘t say no to-a job offer. Because Layla Carson needs a paycheck. After spending over a year in Berlin participating in a clinical trial for her lupus, Layla is painfully aware of how her medical bills have drained her parents‘ bank account. When the opportunity arises to become a nanny, Layla can‘t refuse. As the pair help build a home for the little girl who desperately needs them both, the walls around their hearts begin to crumble. Layla learns there‘s more to Kieran than the flirtatious winks and playful personality, while he‘s determined to show her more beyond her temporary reality. But when forever was never guaranteed for either of them, they‘ll need to fight for the chance of a new life.
